Just finished framing the tail feathers on my new Top Flight Stinson SR9 kit. LOTS of building (56 pcs. in the rudder!) but I enjoy this type of construction. So far, the wood selection and engineering seem above average. The outlines seem very scale. Would enjoy communicating with others who are building this kit. It looks as if it will be very light, and should fly great!

Greetings Giant Scalers. I was going to say that I would like to build my first giant scale plane but it appears that I have already by your definition. I put together a 64" biplane from parts from my "boneyard" recently. However I am interested in building larger gas-powered planes. I have ordered a kit for a Stinson Reliant (100.5") and a gas engine. I need to learn more about redundant systems and other safety features to build into the big ones to feel comfortable flying them. Any resources, books, magazine articles that you can recommend would be most appreciated. I also would like to find out who to contact locally for info about IMAA chapters in the area. Thanks, Tony

Roanoke Valley Radio Control, Inc. is now on the web. Visit our web site which we are adding to daily and see the results of our recent Star City Radio Control Model Expo. It's still under construction so bear with us until we get it complete. We will eventually highlight some of the memorable models of our Static Contest which included John Norfleet's 70 lb., 169" wingspan B-29 Enola Gay and Joseph King's immaculate C-130 Hercules. Joseph had a video running of the Hercules maiden flight. It was awesome! See us at www.rvrc.org. Russell M. Stiff, AMA 9003, IMAA 1303.

IMAA, I've been flying a Midwest Giant Sweet-n-Low Stick with an old 2.25 ci. TRD engine on gasoline. It flies great. It's my first experience with giant scale. I love the realistic sound of a big gas engine and the plane looks more real in the air. I plan to modify this plane to be a fun scale Junkers CL1. It's also low wing,two cockpit,and German WWI. Hope to see a lot of Giants show up at the Tri-State Model Flyers IMAA event in June at Cannonsburg Ky. Your website was very informative. Thanks, Dennis Blevins 44leeann@msn.com

Dear Sir: Hello. My name is David Scott. I am beginning my 12th year of Professionally Instructing R/C Aircraft since opening the 1ST U.S. R/C FLIGHT SCHOOL in 1987. As I'm sure you’re aware of, beginners are the largest segment of our sport, and since the inception of my School in Shawano WI., I have trained more than 700 people to Solo. I primarily train those people who because of time (work, family, etc.) need to concentrate their "learning experience" into a full week of Flight Instruction through Solo. 1998 was my second year of 100% success. I gauge this not by student satisfaction, which I've maintained for years now, but by the fact that 100% of the students trained in '97 & '98 continued to Solo on their own after they returned home after only 5-days at my School, and I'm quite proud of that. My reason for contacting you is to ask if you would list my School, or if you come across people, because of time, location, and/or other constraints, who are having difficulty getting started or making progress in R/C, it may be of benefit to us all if you could direct and inform them that a proven longstanding R/C Flight School does exist, and could be an option to achieve independent Solo status in a concentrated week of flight training. Thank you for your time and have a great 1999. David A. Scott Instructor/Owner 1ST U.S. R/C FLIGHT SCHOOL Mailto:rcfs@frontiernet.net http://www.frontiernet.net/~rcfs

I recently bought a kit of a 1/3 scale Bellanca Decathlon which was produced by a company called S Squared. It believe that it is now out of business. I am having a very difficult time with the confusing instructions. They don't seem to frequently match the plans. The plans are well drawn but lack enough notes. I would like to know if someone has built one of these airplanes from this kit and if there is a better set of instructions. Thanks for the help. Ken

My complements again to Frank Ponteri for his communications with his District. Check out District I news on this site. It's good reading. (P.S. I'd like to see the dues stay where they are at $15. If a concerted effort was made to grow the membership, an increase in dues or advertising would not be necessary. Chapter 392 has grown strongly this past year. We just added three new members this week. There are future members out there waiting to be invited to join. How about it? If every IMAA member brought just one member into the organization, we'd double our membership. And you'd make a friend in doing it.)

I am an old time modeler, but a new giant scaler. I have a Hostetler Weddell Williams (84"span) done in the Roscoe Turner Gilmore livery. I would appreciate any comments on electrical systems. I plan a dual battery pack system with heavy wiring to remote servos. 4.8volt packs and a "battery backer" selector that chooses the better pack. I plan a mechanical 'kill' switch and a radio operated electronic 'kill' switch. The engine (G-62) has an electronic ignition, so I will have most of the wiring and batteries for that on the forward face of the firewall. Any comments?

I am writing this message as a comment on the HI FLITE magazine. The new format is very attractive and most of the subject matter is pertinent. However, I have a problem with this magazine when I see ARF subjects taking up space that could be better served. ALL of the R/C mags depend on ARF advertising therefore they BETTER do reports. I beleive that the part of the hobby our magazine serves can do without ARF reports.

In RC (on&off) since the old tube days. Thinking of giant scale and IMAA membership, but will have to build a "shop-stretcher" first. Probably start with the good old CUB. Anyone have info or source for a tandem-wheeled high flotation landing gear for Super Cub? I believe it was designed and marketed by Art Whitaker and was STC'd for that aircraft (and possibly other similar types) for bush operations. An excellent web site gents.....Thanx: JS

Dear IMAA: I am returning to the RC hobby this year after being away from it since 1986! I have my old AMA number back and am looking forward to building my first Giant Scale model, a Dave Platt Bücker Jungmeister, to be powered by a Saito FA-150 four-stroke. It won't be ready to fly until probably next year, but I have a number of WW I subjects on my CAD system right now for future building- most of which haven't been even DONE in Giant Scale before! I have flown two biplanes previously...a small 42" wingspan Jungmeister from Gordon Whitehead plans, and a scratchbuilt 2" scale Fleet 16B Finch modeled directly on Old Rhinebeck's example. I still have all my small ships, and look forward to building and flying the large Jungmeister as my first Giant! All my model engines are four-strokers, as I got rid of all my 2-stroke engines back in 1985-and will ONLY use 4-stroke engines on any Giant Scale models that I intend to build and fly. Just thought I'd stop in and write...and can't wait to get to the Jungmeister!!! Yours sincerely, Dave Plahn
